According to WFP monitoring, during the last quarter of 2013 some 2,390 people were displaced in Buenaventura, while 14,000 people were confined in the rural areas of El Bagre due to roads being blocked by the FARC. The confinements and displacements restricted affected household’s access to food and also impacted livelihood activities. Affected households are using their savings, relying on assistance from relatives and selling their assets to cope with the situation.

The impact of staple food price changes on the cost of the basic food basket from October to December 2013 was moderate.
